About Me
Hi, I'm Ivander, a passionate & self-driven developer with a knack for creating innovative solutions and crafting clean, efficient code. With a strong foundation in software development and a dedication to continuous learning, I thrive on tackling complex challenges and bringing ideas to life through technology. Whether it's building robust applications, optimizing systems, or exploring the latest tech trends, I aim to deliver value and make an impact.
These days, I am working with .cs,.svelte, and to be frank, .xlsx. When I'm not coding, you might find me exploring new skills, diving into creative projects, hopping on field for badminton, or enjoying a good cup of coffee.

Projects
Just Dance Clone
CG4002 • 2022A clone of Just Dance that works by detecting player's movements using hardware-accelerated ML models. A screen displays any of 12 unique dance moves to be performed along with the relative position of the players, then the detector will forward the dance data for verification in the game logic.
We used 3 different languages! Python for the game logic, C++ for the detector, and JavaScript for the frontend.
Altered States 2 Puzzle Helper
Svelte • 2024My first Svelte Project. For those of you Jane Street Puzzle solvers, you should have remembered this puzzle, I created a puzzle solver helper for it: altered-states-2.vercel.app!
House Laundry Tracker
Svelte • 2024A small project to keep track of the laundry schedule and make it separate from your fully packed calendar! house-laundry.vercel.app
Scoliosis Detector
CS3237 • 2022Our solution is an IoT system that consists of sensors to track the spinal position using acceleration data, a gateway to forward the data to the server, a server to make predictions based on the data, buzzers to provide physical feedback to the user, and a web application to display relevant information to the user. The system is able to classify the user's posture via a LSTM, alert the user when they are in a bad posture for some time using the buzzers, and recommend relevant videos to the user through the web application.
